Like I said earlier, I never could tell who the protesters were or what they were protesting. I never said it was BLM. Actually Im pretty sure it was not. I just sit in the downtown area and have to wait for them to leave before traffic moves. Unless they live, or work, downtown they may not notice. The downtown…

I don’t think you understand neutrality. Neutrality would be sitting at home watching us on the news. If you are measuring your success by how late you made everyone in your city to wherever they were going, then yes, you are doing much better than me. Congrats on all you have accomplished.

I see what you mean. That’s why we go to where the traffic already is, and I’m sure every city has those locations. They are used to sitting there and have nothing better to look at. They take photos and post online and, most of the time, the news crews show up.. even if we call them ourselves ;) I get what you are…

I don’t think anyone here is trying to justify “mowing people down”.

No. That’s because you see things as only 2 sided. You vs them. I am on your side but I also have other things going on. Protests should be about political disruption, not about screwing up people’s days that are also probably on your side. You don’t get any help or sympathy from the people you inconvenience. The sad…

It’s not about appeasing the people in traffic. It’s about getting our message to the ones that feel it and need to know there is something they can do and people who feel the same. Changing minds doesnt happen but there are a lot of people in the middle that are just unaware. Clogging traffic and having 100 pissed…

Like what exactly?

It accomplishes nothing when your only result was pissing off your community. Protesters should be reaching out to the community and growing numbers and getting more people involved. I couldn’t even tell what these people are protesting when I am stuck in the traffic. A successful protest only infuriates the people or…

Great post. I agree with you 100%. I vote and I work with our labor union block walking and reminding others to vote. We share who we like and why to the people willing to listen and we run from the people that look like they want to shoot us! I like to think that we are making a difference, even if slowly. The more…

What a stupid fucking sign. I swear, people and that anthem. They dont even know why they are mad at Colin. Who cares if he took a knee? I back Colin up and dont watch the NFL for two reasons. #1 is this and #2 is that the Texans suck anyway.

I can’t believe it’s been a year already. It’s very important for us to remember these cases of murder by cop. They kill us and give us nothing until we forget about it. There should be a monument built and the names of people killed by cops’ names put on it. Then one day, there will be so many names that it will be…

No-one compared KKK to BLM. That’s why I said to calm down. I’ve commented enough on where to protest, the protests Ive been in, and how clogging traffic is not in the best interest of the protest. All of those issues directly affect all of us. I think we are just misunderstanding each other because I believe we are…

I should’ve added the /s. I gotcha.

Perfect!

Asking for numbers = fucking fired

I stayed an hour late... which one of those did I fix? Im just saying there are better ways to do it than standing in front of cars and getting ran over. Do you agree with that?

I don’t remember if it was Pizza Hut but someone was delivering pizza in kayaks here during Harvey.

I guess the alternative is that we continue to get ran over?

Just talking to people talking to me lol.

This is the internet. If I said BLACK then other non Wypipo would have been offended.
